The official American explanation for the operation against Osama bin Laden keeps changing every day. But at every point it requires such a leap of faith into the extraordinarily unlikely that it has a disturbing ring of contrivance about it.

There is no doubt the Americans conducted an operation and killed bin Laden on Monday, but the surrounding detail and overall narrative is difficult to swallow.

The government needs to stop with trying to provide PC explanations for its actions. In recent history, here is what needed to be said:

Iraq War - “When cease fires are broken, lead flies. We are coming in to break your stuff and you will fix it on your own.”

Afghanistan - “You harbor a terrorist, lead flies and we are coming in to break your stuff and you will fix it on your own.”

OBL killed. - “You attack us and we will come to kill you in the dead of night, without a warrant or asking permission. Pakistan, we are thinking about letting lead fly and breaking your stuff, and we will not be rebuilding.”

I thought it was done on Sunday, May 1. Isn’t that some big Communist holiday, too? I watch little TV on Sundays, but someone called go tell me that bin Laden had been killed. I felt nothing, coming out of the blue like that. I still feel nothing. No celebration. No elation.
In fact, my first reaction was to disbelieve it. When I heard he was buried at sea within hours, I really question it.

It is becoming very difficult to keep track of the story. I am not complaining. It makes it more fun to let my lefty acquaintances know that their hero is a liar, a cold blooded murderer ,a war monger and a war criminal. Every time there is a new version I let my lefty friends know about it.They tend to bury their head in the sand as soon as hussein osama barack is concerned.

PS. hussein osama barack is how I call the fraud at the White House. There is always a lefty to correct me, I have ITS name wrong.

To understand the truth of any situation simply take what comes out of the mouth of a Republicrat/Dumbocan or a Corporate Media talking-head and reverse its meaning 180 degrees. Their actions and agenda are such an anathema to the average citizen that they have to lie completely and instinctively just keep people from rioting in the streets.

I’m fine with knowing bin Laden is dead and watching the Obama administration flail around with never-ending and contradictory accounts of what really happened at ‘Chez bin Laden’. Their inherent mendacity is hurting them, as it should, because its becoming blatantly obvious that even with good news, (a) Obama has to be the focal point and, (b) they can’t tell a straight story. The inclination to lie is irresistible to the Obama crowd. Ergo, they look like fools. I love it!

The (supposed) coincidence of Obama releasing his Birth Certificate, out of the clear blue sky, and then “getting” OBL just a few days later is, IMHO, the Rosetta Stone to unraveling Obama’s little scheme and his motives.

I'd say that's probably a legitimate hypothesis. In my humble opinion, the CIA were keeping tabs on Osama to get further intel and see who/what connections popped up on the radar. Law enforcement and the FBI have conducted surveillance/sting operations like this for many, many years. You have to gather intelligence and see who is connected to the “Godfather” and follow those leads.

All right, I am sorry, but professors grill you on a collegiate paper for inconsistency in your story, and these guys are supposedly already graduated, I feel sick from how bad this job of postgame reporting has gone by. If I had to give a report in college, and did it like they did, I would have failed on that paper. Yet these guys, who have graduated, are giving such horrible material on a so-called success! What is our nation coming to?

Just watched O’Reilly, with people claiming info from primary sources say that there were some over 20 people in Obama’s compound and some over 10 in his room, weapons, inc AK-47 near by in Bin Laden’s room and nobody is shooting at the SEALS. Also MANY women and children.

Earlier they said there were only a total of 4 people and only ONE shooting at the SEALS.

If I had to give a report in college, and did it like they did, I would have failed on that paper. Yet these guys, who have graduated, are giving such horrible material on a so-called success! What is our nation coming to?

The entire episode provides an object lesson in what an Ivy League education is actually worth.

It can get you a high-level job in the federal government. But it can't help you actually do the job...
